"Peru’s national indigenous organization, AIDESEP, is opposed to Perenco’s plans. It has appealed to Latin America’s top human rights body, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, urging it to help prevent Perenco working in the region."

AIDSEP, along with Shinai and other groups, has also proposed the establishment of reserves to protect uncontacted peoples, (possibly) including one for the region held by Perenco (who now owns Barrett).

Despite this, "Perenco seems determined both to push ahead with its mega-project, and also to deny that the uncontacted Indians even live there, says Stephen Corry, Survival’s director. "It ought by now to realise that the seemingly isolated jungle it is operating in is actually the ancestral home of several Indian groups, who will very likely see its workers as invaders. Everyone else has acknowledged this, including Perenco's predecessor.'
